[00:00] HARUKA
I don't need to be cheered on.
[00:02] HARUKA
I can race alone.
[00:05] KOYA
He's awesome.
[00:07] KOYA
Watching him drive really
sucks you into the race.
[00:11] TOSHIKI
Try not to block the track while
getting lapped today, Mr. Chicane.
[00:16] KOYA
So I'll find someone who
understands F4 and Komaki Motors.
[00:22] KOYA
I'll take my time finding a sponsor
who will really get what makes you so good.
[00:59] FUTOSHI
He did it!
[01:00] KOYA
He really did it!
[01:02] BOTH
Yeah!
[01:05] SIGN

[01:08] KOTAROU
Haru, that was a new personal best!
[01:10] KOTAROU
That's amazing! Nice job!
[01:12] HARUKA
Okay, I get it.
[01:16] HARUKA
It was just a practice run, anyway.
[01:24] KOYA
Congrats.
[01:25] HARUKA
Like I said, it was just a practice run.
[01:30] HARUKA
Thanks, though.
[01:32] SIGN
Mikazuki Beverages
[01:33] HARUKA
For finding a sponsor.
[01:35] KOYA
Ah, well, I didn't find them, exactly.
[01:39] KOYA
A friend introduced me to them.
[01:42] HARUKA
All that practice with these new tires meant
I got to try out all kinds of driving techniques.
[01:48] HARUKA
We might actually do
pretty well in tomorrow's race.
[01:53] KOYA
I see.
[01:55] HARUKA
How'd you find a sponsor, though?
[01:59] HARUKA
All the other ones turned us down.
[02:03] KOYA
Oh, uh, well...
[02:06] FUTOSHI
Huh? Would you look at that!
There's a scratch right here.
[02:10] KOTAROU
Wow, you're right. That's no good.
We'd better fix that right away.
[02:13] HARUKA
Uh, that's been there for a while.
[02:16] SATO
Hello, all.
[02:18] KOYA
Oh, Sato-san. Hello.
[02:20] FUTOSHI
It was good to see you the other day.
[02:22] FUTOSHI
Thanks for making the long trip out here.
[02:25] SATO
Oh, no, it's fine. Thank you for
accommodating our urgent request.
[02:31] SATO
Nice to meet you, Asahina Haruka-kun. I look
forward to shooting your commercial today.
[02:38] HARUKA
Commercial?
[02:47] HARUKA
We're shooting a commercial?!
[04:26] KOYA
S-So, uh...
[04:29] KOYA/ID
I can't tell him.
[04:30] SAEKO
By the way...
[04:33] SAEKO
Remember that photo you
sent me of the crying boy?
[04:37] KOYA
What? You saw that?
[04:40] KOYA
Ah, I sent you the wrong data.
[04:43] SAEKO
When I showed it to a friend who makes ads
for drink companies, they asked to meet him.
[04:50] SAEKO
They said his crying face was great.
[04:55] KOYA/ID
I can't tell him they agreed to sponsor us
because they love how he looks when he cries.
[05:01] KOTAROU
Shouldn't you say sorry to him?
[05:04] HARUKA
Kota...
[05:05] KOTAROU
It's not right to surprise someone like that.
[05:07] KOTAROU
But if he hadn't caught you off-guard, you never
would've agreed, Haru, so you're more to blame.
[05:11] KOTAROU
Guilty. Apologize.
[05:13] HARUKA
Why?
[05:14] HARUKA
I can't be in a commercial.
[05:16] KOTAROU
Now, now. Calm down.
[05:19] KOTAROU
Remember how those new tires felt.
[05:23] KOTAROU
Wasn't the grip good?
Wasn't the braking better?
[05:26] FUTOSHI
Didn't you get good traction?
[05:31] FILM STAFF
Camera's rolling.
[05:37] DIRECTOR
Just try to act as natural as possible.
[05:41] DIRECTOR
That's it. Natural.
[05:44] DIRECTOR
Good. You look really natural.
[05:48] DIRECTOR
Very nice. Very natural.
[05:52] KOTAROU
What does "natural" mean?
[05:57] FUTOSHI
Looks like he finally gave in.
[06:00] KOYA
Sorry for moving things forward
without your approval.
[06:04] FUTOSHI
It's fine. Haruka wouldn't
have done it otherwise.
[06:08] KOYA
Do you think it was cruel of me?
[06:11] FUTOSHI
He's stubborn, just like his dad.
[06:14] FUTOSHI
He steadfastly sticks to his guns.
[06:17] FUTOSHI
If he really hated it,
he wouldn't move a muscle.
[06:21] KOTAROU
Shouldn't you be shooting him?
[06:24] KOYA
Huh?
[06:25] KOTAROU
With your camera.
[06:29] KOYA
Oh, well, you know. It's better to let the
ad specialists handle that sort of thing.
[06:35] KOYA
They're way better than I am.
[06:37] KOTAROU
Oh, yeah?
[06:39] FUTOSHI
I thought the photo you showed us
the other day was good. The crying one.
[06:44] KOYA
Thank you. That was...
[06:50] KOYA
I'm actually surprised
I was able to take it at all.
[06:55] SATO
Madoka-san.
[06:56] SATO
The camera loves Haruka-kun
as much as you said.
[07:00] KOYA
Oh, this is nice!
[07:02] KOYA
Yeah, that's a great expression.
[07:05] KOYA
Haruka-kun always shows up when it's go time.
[07:08] SATO
Right?
[07:13] SATO
Would you be willing to
answer a few questions?
[07:17] HARUKA
Yes.
[07:18] SATO
When did you start driving in F4?
[07:21] HARUKA
I started last year.
[07:23] SATO
Were you doing some other
motorsport before that?
[07:27] HARUKA
Just some go-karting.
[07:29] SATO
I see. Was there anyone who
inspired you to want to start driving?
[07:33] HARUKA
Yes, my father.
[07:35] SATO
So your father was a racer, too?
[07:38] SATO
Are you driving because
you admire your dad?
[07:41] HARUKA
Yes. I mean, no.
[07:46] HARUKA
It's half and half.
[07:48] SATO
I see. So what makes up
the other half you're driving for?
[07:54] HARUKA
Well...
[07:57] HARUKA
A lot of things, probably.
[08:02] MC
In other words,
you're only interested in winning?
[08:05] SATSUKI
I guess so.
[08:06] SATSUKI
But I'm able to focus solely on winning
[08:09] SATSUKI
thanks to the support I get from our
number two driver, Tokumaru-san.
[08:13] TOSHIKI
Yeah, right. You only ever
face forward when you drive.
[08:17] SATSUKI
Aw, c'mon. You're spoiling my nice answer.
[08:21] SATSUKI
In any case, even if I win,
that victory doesn't only belong to me.
[08:25] SATSUKI
It belongs to the whole team,
including Tokumaru-san.
[08:29] MC
Would you say leading the Belsorriso team
to victory is the reason you two drive now?
[08:37] SATSUKI
Of course. Right?
[08:40] TOSHIKI
I do my job as the number two driver
to contribute to the team's victory.
[08:48] TOSHIKI
Satsuki, you talk too much.
[08:50] TOSHIKI
The number two driver assisting the
lead driver is a gray area in the rules.
[08:56] TOSHIKI
You'll get the higher-ups on us.
[08:59] SATSUKI
But too many people think the number two
driver is just the guy who comes in second.
[09:05] SATSUKI
That doesn't bother you, Toshi-kun?
[09:07] TOSHIKI
I told you not to call me Toshi-kun.
[09:09] TOSHIKI
I'm older than you.
[09:12] SATSUKI
Yeah, 'cause you're T-old-shi.
[09:16] SATSUKI
Did you know, Alice-chan?
[09:17] ALICE
Yes?
[09:18] SATSUKI
Toshi-kun's actually way faster.
[09:22] SATSUKI
He just happened to graze
another machine in the audition—
[09:26] TOSHIKI
Satsuki.
[09:27] TOSHIKI
Did you see we're supposed
to show up early tomorrow?
[09:30] SATSUKI
What? Show me.
[09:32] TOSHIKI
Look it up yourself. I'm not going
to start helping you offtrack, too.
[09:39] SATSUKI
What's that?
[09:40] SATSUKI
Are they filming something?
[09:42] ALICE
Oh, um, apparently, Haruka-kun of
Komaki Motors is shooting a commercial.
[09:47] SATSUKI
A commercial?
[09:51] SATSUKI
What?
[09:53] SATSUKI
I totally thought I'd be the first
F4 driver to be in a commercial.
[10:06] KOTAROU
You beat yesterday's
practice time by 0.3 seconds.
[10:10] HARUKA
I thought I could do even better.
[10:12] KOTAROU
Don't be greedy.
[10:14] KOTAROU
Qualifying in eighth is great.
[10:17] KOTAROU
The real race is still to come.
[10:20] HARUKA
I'm going to our tent.
[10:22] KOTAROU
Mikazuki Beverages is already there.
[10:25] KOTAROU
Act natural.
[10:27] HARUKA
Quit it.
[10:34] ENA
Tokumaru's second and Harunaga's third.
[10:37] ENA
We failed to get pole position, huh?
[10:39] SATSUKI
I'm sorry. Increasing the downforce
was the wrong way to go for this track.
[10:46] ENA
And you, Tokumaru?
[10:47] TOSHIKI
My setup suited the track.
[10:50] TOSHIKI
I went with less wing than Harunaga,
but didn't struggle for grip.
[10:56] ENA
I see. You were
seven-tenths off the pole time.
[11:04] ENA
That's within reach.
[11:07] TOSHIKI
Excuse me.
[11:09] TOSHIKI
Today...
[11:12] TOSHIKI
Could I be the lead driver?
[11:21] TOSHIKI
My setup and machine are
better suited to this track.
[11:25] TOSHIKI
I'm in great shape.
I can definitely pass him.
[11:29] TOSHIKI
I can seize victory for the team.
[11:37] ENA
Fine.
[11:42] ENA
Tokumaru, you'll drive in front of Harunaga.
[11:45] ENA
But only for 20 minutes.
[11:48] TOSHIKI
What?
[11:50] ENA
If you can't pass first in 20 minutes,
you'll let Harunaga by.
[11:54] TOSHIKI
You mean...
[11:55] ENA
Harunaga, stay behind Tokumaru
and let him drag you along.
[11:58] SATSUKI
Got it.
[12:00] ENA
Tokumaru.
[12:02] ENA
I'm counting on you.
[12:08] TOSHIKI
Yes, sir.
[12:10] TOSHIKI
Damn it.
[12:11] TOSHIKI
Drive in front, my ass.
[12:13] TOSHIKI
He just wants me to be a windbreak for him.
[12:18] HARUKA
Tokumaru.
[12:22] TOSHIKI
Hey.
[12:26] TOSHIKI
You seem to be doing well.
I heard you even got a sponsor, too.
[12:31] TOSHIKI
Not that there's any point in spending money
on someone who drives however he wants.
[12:42] TOSHIKI
Stop getting in my way
during races, Mr. Chicane.
[12:48] HARUKA
Like I told you, you're the
one who was too hasty.
[12:52] TOSHIKI
Shut up. Because of you, I...
[12:58] TOSHIKI
I won't forget what you did.
[13:01] KOYA
Oh, it's you.
[13:07] KOYA
What was that about?
[13:09] KOYA
Why does he always do that before races?
[13:12] KOYA
Maybe someone should tell him off
for once. No, that'd be going too far.
[13:17] KOTAROU
Something happen to him?
[13:20] KOYA
Are you okay? Deep breaths, deep breaths.
[13:23] KOYA
They say you should count to
three when you're annoyed.
[13:27] KOYA
Oh, and holding something cold
to your head works, too.
[13:30] HARUKA
It's six seconds.
[13:31] KOYA
What?
[13:33] HARUKA
In anger management,
[13:35] HARUKA
they teach you to count to six, not three.
[13:40] HARUKA
I'm fine.
[13:43] HARUKA
I'll settle things with him in the race.
[13:46] HARUKA
I show up when it's go time, right?
[14:12] COMMENTATOR
And the action's underway.
[14:22] SATSUKI
Toshi-kun sure is fast.
[14:48] KOYA
Hm? What's he doing?
[14:51] KOYA
He's driving awfully close to him.
[14:54] TOSHIKI/ID
Fine. I'll be your windbreak.
[14:56] TOSHIKI/ID
But only for 20 minutes.
[14:59] TOSHIKI/ID
I'll pass the car in front for first by then.
[15:19] TOSHIKI/ID
This time.
[15:27] KOTAROU
Heck yeah.
[15:29] KOTAROU
Did you see that? Haru's on fire.
[15:32] KOYA
Yeah. He so is.
[15:36] KOYA
Those two cars are driving
awfully close together.
[15:40] KOTAROU
Yeah, that's a slipstream.
[15:43] KOYA
Slip?
[15:44] KOTAROU
The slipstream effect.
[15:46] KOTAROU
When a car sticks close to
the back of the one in front,
[15:49] KOTAROU
the force of the air pulls
the one in the back forward,
[15:52] KOTAROU
allowing it to conserve power and such.
[15:57] KOYA
I see.
[15:58] FUTOSHI
Normally, it's something
you'd make rival drivers do,
[16:01] FUTOSHI
but Belsorriso does it
within their own team.
[16:04] FUTOSHI
Maybe they're going for a one-two finish.
[16:08] KOYA
Huh.
[16:11] TOSHIKI/ID
My machine's lighter now
that I've got less fuel.
[16:14] TOSHIKI/ID
I'm starting to go even faster.
[16:16] TOSHIKI/ID
I knew it. This setup is
perfect for this track.
[16:32] KOTAROU
Yes!
[16:41] KOYA
All right!
[16:42] KOYA
This is great! Haruka-kun's already up to fifth.
[16:45] FUTOSHI
Yup, yup.
[16:46] KOTAROU
You're almost there, Haru.
[16:56] TOSHIKI
Okay, I've got this.
I can pass him on the next corner.
[17:05] TOSHIKI/ID
Drop behind?
[17:11] ENA/ID
Tokumaru's machine rapidly
builds up speed due to its skinny wing,
[17:15] ENA/ID
but its lower downforce
makes braking difficult.
[17:20] ENA/ID
In contrast, Harunaga's machine...
[17:23] ENA/ID
not only has power to spare
thanks to Tokunaga's slipstream,
[17:27] ENA/ID
but the downforce produced by his
fatter wing means his tires are less worn.
[17:32] ENA/ID
In other words, right now...
[17:36] ENA
Harunaga is faster.
[17:44] SATSUKI
Toshi-kun?
[17:45] TOSHIKI/ID
Not yet. I can keep this up.
[17:51] TOSHIKI/ID
If I've exhausted my
resources, then so has he.
[17:57] TOSHIKI/ID
My brakes!
[17:59] COMMENTATOR
Oh, no! The 36 car slides
offtrack at the V Corner,
[18:03] COMMENTATOR
and the cars behind
pass him one after another.
[18:10] TOSHIKI
You're not getting past me.
[18:16] FUTOSHI
Haruka and Tokumaru-kun
are going head-to-head.
[18:19] KOYA
Um, did something happen between those two?
[18:23] KOYA
He comes to pick a fight before most races.
[18:27] KOTAROU
They had a bit of trouble
in a race a year ago.
[18:29] FUTOSHI
It happened shortly
after he started racing in F4.
[18:32] FUTOSHI
Apparently, Belsorriso was conducting
a driver audition during that race.
[18:37] FUTOSHI
Our machine was out of sorts back then.
[18:40] FUTOSHI
We got the blue flag.
[18:43] FUTOSHI
Haruka followed the rules
and stuck to the outside,
[18:46] FUTOSHI
but Tokumaru-kun tried to pass the car
in front of him around the outside.
[19:00] KOYA
So he charged into him as
he was getting out of the way?
[19:03] KOTAROU
Yeah, exactly. It's totally unjustified!
[19:06] FUTOSHI
I suppose. But it's not that simple.
[19:11] FUTOSHI
That's just how it is in racing.
[19:14] TOSHIKI
Not you, Asahina Haruka.
[19:16] TOSHIKI
I'll never lose to you.
[19:23] KOTAROU
It's the final lap!
[20:01] KOYA
Is that...
[20:04] KOYA
a slipstream?
[20:06] TOSHIKI
You brat.
[20:18] KOTAROU
Whoa!
[20:19] BOTH
Yes!
[20:42] SATSUKI
Yeah! Peace, peace, peace!
[20:49] KOYA
Fourth is a new personal
best for you. Congrats.
[20:52] HARUKA
Whatever. I didn't even get third.
So no winner's podium for me.
[20:59] KOYA
Have you ever been up there?
[21:01] HARUKA
A long time ago.
[21:04] HARUKA
When my dad...
[21:06] HARUKA
won a race.
[21:11] HARUKA
That's why I race.
[21:13] HARUKA
To make it up there myself someday,
not because someone else won.
[21:20] HARUKA
That's the other half...
[21:23] HARUKA
of the reason I race.
[21:27] KOYA
Shall we celebrate?
[21:29] HARUKA
Nah. I didn't even make it onto the podium.
[21:34] HARUKA
Hey! What are you doing?
[21:36] KOYA
A win is still a win.
[21:42] KOYA
Now you've done it! I'll get you!
[21:45] KOTAROU
Are they teenagers?
[21:46] FUTOSHI
Shall we join them?
[21:47] KOTAROU
What? Hey!
[21:48] HARUKA
Quit it!
[21:50] KOTAROU
Us, too.
[21:51] HARUKA
Don't get any on the machine.
The final race is tomorrow.
[21:53] KOTAROU
Get him!
[21:54] FUTOSHI
It's all right. We've got another one.
[21:56] HARUKA
Don't, Kota!
[22:00] TOSHIKI
Damn it.
[22:03] TOSHIKI
Why? Why?!
